Parkinson’s Stem Cell Trial: What Happened After One Year?

Key Takeaways A one-year Parkinson’s stem cell trial called STEM-PD found no serious side effects linked to the cell product itself. Scientists used embryonic stem cells to grow dopamine producing cells, then transplanted them into eight patients with Parkinson’s disease. Six of seven surviving patients cut their Parkinson’s medication substantially,
